Venus and Mars Harmonize: Through the lens of history we are sometimes surprised at how notions of femininity and masculinity have changed according to the beliefs, values, fashions and customs of the day. A trine of Venus and Mars is a reminder: Whatever the state of things may be, it will not stay the same. It’s an omen for harmony and ease in our various roles.
CAPRICORN
(December 22 to January 19)
While you are confident, assertive and decisive, one of those decisions has to do with making less of them. Being the one who follows directions instead of giving them can come as a big relief.
AQUARIUS
(January 20 to February 18)
No one cares what happens in situations where they already believe they are powerless. You want to be where your actions and opinions make a difference and will move on to the environments where you can create an impact.
PISCES
(February 19 to March 20)
What would happen if you stopped fighting and just gave into it? Maybe it’s not the right choice for you, but the mental exercise of imagining your surrender could strengthen your resolve or help you think of new tactics to try.
ARIES
(March 21 to April 19)
You don’t always follow logic. You’re as wild as the wilderness itself -- an organism of instinct and thought with the ability to switch modes. Trust in the reasons beyond what logic can provide.
TAURUS
(April 20 to May 20)
Clarity is a precursor to success. You’ll assess the relevant factors and speculate as to what influences could come to bear on the situation. There is no blame to assign, only facts to be dealt with.
GEMINI
(May 21 to June 21)
Change is scary. What will happen if you try to change? Whether you try or not, you’ll still change. You’d rather steer things in your desired direction. It’s very much worth the work.
CANCER
(June 22 to July 22)
As the sign of old souls, you love other things that are old, too, like friends and artifacts. Treat them with tenderness. With age comes fragility of form, substantiality of content.
LEO
(July 23 to August 22)
You never know what is going on in another person’s head, heart or life. So when relationships improve or just shift, it may have little to do with your influence. Center yourself on your own wants.
VIRGO
(August 23 to September 22)
You’ll let people know you accept them as they are. It’s not something you say. You just feel it and they can tell. Maybe it’s why they are open and amenable to your suggestions.
LIBRA
(September 23 to October 23)
It will be your pleasure to spend time with someone dreamy and energizing. Finding good company is like frolicking in a field of saffron -- the exotic spice made from flowers that the ancients called “sunshine for the soul.”
SCORPIO
(October 24 to November 21)
Nerves are a natural response to this highstakes game you’re playing. You do your best to keep jittery energy from seeping into your interactions, but if it seeps in anyway it will only endear you to the people around you.
SAGITTARIUS
(November 22 to December 21)
You want to know how to help your colleagues and clients find their true potential. You are able to tap into the hidden talents of others. You help people find their voice and make sense of their life story.
